The Gallagher Way
Some things never change. While the world of Gallagher is ever expanding and evolving, we remain rooted in the principles that have informed our actions every day for generations. In 1984, then Chairman and CEO, Bob Gallagher, took time to write them down in his own hand. He called them The Gallagher Way.
These shared values built us. They guide us. They inspire us.
